Double tracks between Ängelholm and Helsingborg, Romares väg

Skip to:

In order to increase capacity and reduce travel time, we will convert the section of line between Ängelholm and Helsingborg, Romares väg to double track.

The West Coast Line between Göteborg and Lund is an important connection for both passenger and goods traffic and connects the metropolitan regions of Oslo/Göteborg with Malmö/Copenhagen. The stretch of line from Ängelholm to Helsingborg, Romares väg, is part of the heavily congested West Coast Line which currently has a severe lack of capacity. In order for rail traffic to be fully developed, we need to convert this section of line to double tracks

The purpose of the project is to:

improve passenger services,

make it possible to commute further by train within a reasonable period of time,

strengthen the potential for urban areas and the transport system to be developed in an integrated way, and

guarantee that the West Coast Line can take on the standard determined for it in the long term.

What is happening now in the project?

We are currently producing a railway plan that explains how we want to upgrade to the double track. Our railway plan proposal is being produced in close cooperation with residents, organisations, public authorites and businesses. construction will commence in 2019 at the earliest.

The project in brief

What: Double tracks on the stretch of line from Ängelholm to Helsingborg, Romares väg on the West Coast Line.

Why: To increase capacity and reduce travel time on the entire West Coast Line.

Current status: Production of a railway plan.

Start of construction: 2019 at the earliest. But work has already started on the pedestrian and cycle underpass at Ringstorpsvägen.

Cost: SEK 2,4 billion. The project is being co-financed by Region Skåne and City of Helsingborg.
